EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing costume design for the ballet "La Legende de Joseph" by Leon Bakst. Created in 1914, this charcoal and gouache masterpiece measures 33.5x27 cm and is now part of a private collection. The ballet itself was performed on the eve of the First World War in both Paris and London, adding an intriguing historical context to this exquisite artwork. Bakst's talent shines through as he skillfully captures the essence of this legendary tale with his intricate detailing and imaginative use of colors. The costume depicted in this print transports us back to the 16th century, evoking a sense of theatrical grandeur and enchantment. The dreamcoat worn by the central figure adds an element of mystique, hinting at hidden depths within Joseph's character. Bakst's collaboration with Serge Diaghilev and Richard Strauss opera further enhances the significance of this piece within the realm of performing arts history. As a member of Les Ballets Russes from 1872 to 1929, Bakst played a pivotal role in revolutionizing stage design during that era. With its Renaissance-inspired aesthetic and undeniable allure, this drawing exemplifies why Bakst remains one of Russia's most celebrated artists.
